  Subj: Progress report on WWIVToss Setup Rewrit  
  Hello all!  
    
  If you're following my progress with my WWIVToss Setup Rewrite, it's going  
  slow, but moving forward.  
    
  To date, I've gotten the new WWIVToss Setup to read in the main wwivtoss.dat  
  config file and display the current settings. I've partially matched the  
  following items on the WSETUP main menu, System Data to display Site Info,  
  Network Addresses and AKAs, Path Names, Archiver Setup, and Area Groups,  
  and displaying Miscellaneous Options.  
    
  It also has a working Area Manager, which reads in areas.dat, displays the  
  different Areas defined, allowing display and setting of Area Name, WWIV  
  Net,  
  WWIV Sub type, Comment, Origin, etc. The Area Manager allows you to input  
  the  
  text fields on selection, toggle/cycle through the various options (no need  
  to  
  memorize the possible settings). Areas can also be added. However, I haven't  
  written routines to delete an area but the option to mark an area as  
  inactive  
  is available. I will clean this up later on when I add a routine to sort and  
  rewrite areas.dat without the marked as inactive areas.  
    
  As I mentioned in previous posts, this rewrite is currently running on Linux  
  only but I'm trying to use standard C/C++ and standard CURSES library calls  
  so  
  porting it to other platforms might be easy to do.

   * Origin: WWIV 5.0 on Linux: telnet://aliens.free.net.ph (3:633/408.0)
